Lifestyle

Head to Porto’s Café early in the morning to have guava pastries and Cuban coffees while you people-watch in their massive dining room. Go for a hike in the Verdugo Mountains to see the stunning panoramic views or take a more leisurely walk around Brand Park’s beautiful grounds,

Friendship Garden, and Japanese Tea House. Grab a cappuccino to go or try the Blue Butterfly tea at Love You Latte, and on weekends, enjoy a flight of pancakes at popular Bea Beas.

Afternoons can be spent strolling around the Americana shopping center stores, including Tory Burch, Lululemon, Sephora, and Anthropologie.

If you get tired from shopping, relax at a table by the fountain or take the trolley to catch a movie on one of the 18 screens at the modern AMC theater. Have a Taiwanese lunch at Din Tai Fung or innovative Mexican at Brick & Flour.

Browse the exhibits at the Museum of Neon Art, the broad collections of literature at the Central Library, or see a new indie film at the Laemmle Theater.

For dinner, you can’t beat the incredible Persian food at Raffi’s Place, followed by a live performance at the Alex Theater. In the evenings you can go for a walk and pop into your neighborhood hookah lounge for a relaxing time with friends.

There are endless reasons why people love living in Glendale!
